This study has several limitations that merit further research.
First, the findings are narrowly focused on one form of integration, i.e. the alternation between different verb forms.
Future work should consider other forms of loanword integration on social media, including in orthography (Eng. football \(\rightarrow \)  Sp. fútbol) and syntax (el key vs. la key “the key”) [1]}, [2]}.
It may be the case that some forms of loanword integration are more socially salient than others [3]} and therefore more strongly constrained by factors such as audience expectations.
In addition, this analysis found some location-level effects but did not zoom in to the level of the community, which is important since different speech communities may have different perceptions of the social value of loanwords [4]}, [5]}.
As people of different linguistic backgrounds continue to interact on social media [6]}, it will be important to consider how different sub-communities on the platform adopt loanwords from one another, as such processes can lead to long-term language change.
Lastly, different languages may have different expectations about the social meaning of integrated loanword use, e.g. integrated verbs in Japanese may seem less formal than their light verb equivalent [7]}.
More cross-linguistic work is needed to understand how well the social ramifications of loanword integration can be generalized [8]} and whether they reflect culture-specific norms rather than inherent trends about language and socialization.
